Documentary: Life in Poverty Life in the West Bank

In January 2007, B'Tselem launched "B'Tselem's camera distribution project", a video advocacy project focusing on the Occupied Territories. We provide Palestinians living in high-conflict areas with video cameras, with the goal of bringing the reality of their lives under occupation to the attention of the Israeli and international public, exposing and seeking redress for violations of human rights. The Rashid family lives in a cave in the village of Haribat a-Nabi in the Southern Hebron Hills -- right next to the Separation Barrier. In September 2007 the family made a video tape to introduce Israelis to their home and way of life. The tape also presents one of the children reading a letter to Israelis, and soldiers detaining farmers near the cave during the month of Ramadan, captured on film by the children.

B'Tselem is an Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

1851: Notes and lessons on the geography and history of Palestine - By George Henry Taylor

"throughout the Turkish dominions they are a despised, degraded, and a persecuted race. Denied all civil privileges, tyrannized over and trampled upon, their character is just what such treatment is calculated to make it. Of all the inhabitants of Palestine none are so poor and so wretched-looking as the Jews."

umm...Palestinians were paying excessive "TAXES" to the ottomans also, one of the major reasons y they revolted against them in the first place....maybe u need to read up a lil on some history... books perhaps?

[IMANSMUMMA]

I'd prefer to beleive Palestinian christians via word of mouth over zionist propagated myths anyday....

[lamalo80]

Like the freedom they get in Gaza? Great....

[lamalo80]

Because thats where they live and they are not planning to move. If they are happy, that's ok with me. There were people happy in Muslim countries as well even though they had to pay "protection money" - excuse me,.. extra tax. But that unfortunately was not the case when the Ottomans were ruling the area. Really. Read some news articles to find out. You might be surprised.

Or better yet, go ask y so many Palestinian Christian expats r so active in trying to eradicate this zionist designed and propagated misinformation....

[IMANSMUMMA]

another empty statement...... i advise u to go ask a Samaritan y they chose to stay with the Palestinians rather than go live under Israeli rule.....

[lamalo80]

I advise you to check out old news articles about the situation in google news archive.

[IMANSMUMMA]
